Anti-snipe

Bots watch for new launches and buy in the first block, ahead of everyone who found the coin by reading about it. The defence here is structural, not a whitelist — the contracts have no such thing.

The dev buy

The creator purchases in the very transaction that creates the coin — atomically, through Doppler's Bundler — so no bot can land before them. What a sniper can still do is buy second, at a price the creator's own buy has already moved. The bigger the dev buy, the more expensive being second gets.

What there is not

There is no elevated opening fee on Robinhood Chain, and no exemption list for team wallets — neither mechanism exists in the contracts, and faking either in the interface would be worse than saying so. The dev buy, which runs inside the launch itself, is the honest way to be first.

Who counts as a sniper

The token page reports snipers as wallets whose first trade landed inside that window — people who demonstrably paid the elevated fee, rather than a guess at intent. Their remaining share is counted from indexed trades, so tokens moved by plain transfer are not tracked.
